In the autumn of 1998, Toyota introduced the first generation of the rear-wheel-drive Altezza sedan, which was marketed in other regions as the Lexus IS 200. It featured an advanced double-wishbone suspension on both axles, delivering a balance of ride comfort and enhanced handling stability. This article provides detailed fuse and relay box diagrams for the first-generation Toyota Altezza / Lexus IS 200 (XE10 chassis; model years 1998–2005).
Below are the location diagrams and photos for the power distribution boxes. The fuses for the “Cigarette Lighter” and “Fuel Pump” are highlighted in bold.
